That could be right, but I think Fons referred to the QC of their products.
There is another problem with Behringer, they are ripping of designs of
real engineers that put a lot of work into their products.
This work has a value but with Behringer it seems that there is no value
anymore to quality of build or sound.
Yes I am using two pieces of Behringer  gear in my studio, but today I
think I would make a different decision in my gear purchases.
